Saturday, 14. October 2023
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of the opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game technique uses alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
